Brock University is committed to providing services to support Aboriginal student success. There are a number of services available to Status or Non-Status First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students who self-identify.

Some of the benefits include tutoring services, exclusive computer lab access and lounge access, laptop lending, a resource library, and print and fax services. You may also qualify for Aboriginal specific awards, and bursaries available to First Nations, Metis and Inuit students.

If you are new to Brock or the Hadiyaˀdagénhahs First Nations, Métis and Inuit Student Centre, feel free to come to the Gathering Place of Good Minds (TH 145) to meet the staff and learn about our services and resources.
